What is the state of local journalism in America today? Saturday, February 21, Carolina Public Humanities is hosting a forum called “The Latest News on Local News,” starting at 10 a.m. in UNC’s Kenan Conference Center. UNC journalism professor Marisa Porto will join Erica Perel of the Tiny News Collective for a conversation about the challenges (and opportunities) facing local news outlets today, from the Internet to social media to changing trends in Americans’ news consumption to the rapid rise of AI.
